media kit 2019 contractdesign.com CONTRACT MISSION STATEMENT

Architecture and design from the inside out.

Contract is the essential design platform and voice for the commercial interior design and architecture community, connecting professionals and covering breakthrough projects, innovative products, and challenging ideas that make our world a better place through the lens of architecture and design. Through its print, digital and face-to-face offerings, we offer insight and analysis about the ever-evolving fields of architecture and design from the inside out (and occasionally from the outside in). Published 10 times a year, Contract magazine elevates the relevance and value of commercial design by focusing on the power of designers to transform business and institutional environments. Our daily insights, market reports, big ideas and project case studies identified by our staff editors, freelance specialists, and guest opinion leaders translate the most influential emerging design trends and research, into sharp, incisive analysis enabling our professional design audience to understand new directions, to explore new ideas, and to identify and be inspired by who and what is new and next. We ask the question how can we better understand future change in the fields of the workplace, hospitality, retail, healthcare, technology, and education? Contract is also the official publication of ICFF, the North American trade show for International design, held annually each May during NYCxDesign festival at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. Contract also produces the Best of NeoCon competition—the most important guide to the best new products exhibited at theMART during NeoCon in June. Our events are opportunities to facilitate conversations about change, offering up the chance to get up close and personal with exciting thinkers and practitioners in the design field, allowing you the chance to network, collaborate and challenge you to think fresh about the future of design. We do this all in an engaging way that is inspiring and fun, with the simple aim to help our core audience of architects and designers always stay ahead of the curve.
